In chapter 2 of Terry Cooke-Davies’ book Aspects of Complexity Stephen Hayes and Daniel Bennett write about managing projects with high complexity.  They highlight key issues that the ICCPM roundtables participants believed have significant impact on the success of complex projects (Cooke-Davies 2011, p.18-19).
